In this video men's style and grooming expert, Aaron Marino of Alpha M and www.iamalpham.com, talks about being a short man in today's world. He also talks about how to dress in-order to look taller and how to dress to maximize your height. There are some key elements and strategies that short men or man of modest height can execute to make themselves look taller and appear taller. Remember that when a confident man walks in the room it doesn't matter his height.
Aaron Marino of alpha m. is a man who happens to be short at 5 ft 6 in. He is deemed 'short' by societal standards. He catches comments on TH-cam surrounding his height which makes him ponder why people are fixated on such an arbitrary topic. Alpha doesn't think his height is a big deal as he doesn't contemplate his height and doesn't identify himself with his height.
Alpha's heart is broken when people are concerned about their height when asking for hair style or hair product information. These men are addressing height as if it's a flaw or deficiency, and some allow height to define them which affects their confidence and self-worth. Height is a minor detail (not a handicap), but society makes us feel super insecure if we don't fit into a certain mold. This same media makes stupid people famous!
Being short is not the reason you haven't achieved your goals; however, there is some truth about short men having to prove themselves and having to work harder than the taller counterpart. BUT there is always a person or group that is prejudice about some factor whether skin color, weight, hair color, ethnicity, etc.
It doesn't matter who you are, what you do, what you look like- one of the greatest things about humans is that we are all different. So many men, however, allow height to affect confidence and self-esteem. Your height doesn't dictate who you are, doesn't define you as a man, and doesn't limit your possibilities. You decide what you are capable of!
Alpha realizes there are a lot of men of the 'modest stature' and may be wondering about what clothing types and styles are the best for the short man. Being a short man, shopping presents challenges. Typically, Alpha makes videos for the general population so everyone can extract something. However, Alpha has found the Modest Man by Brock and wants to share. It's a free website and a rich resource for short men. Brock also offers an e-book as well regarding short man's strategies to maximize your look (Short Man's Style). Please note that Alpha is not getting compensated or paid by the Modest Man or Short Man's Style by Brock.
I'm 5.6 not a tall girl but not a short one either. My man is 5.4 and he's the best guy ever
Good for you! :)
+Megan Eastwood I'm 6'2 and I absolutely hate it when women judge men by their height. It's not like they have any influence on it. The world needs more people like you :)
+lights and sounds yes and we need more men confident with their height no matter how tall or short! I understand people can sometimes be uncomfortable in their own skin at times. But with height there isn't anything one can do about it. We just gotta take what God gives us and if we recognize things could be a lot worse for us height would never be an issue. I chose heart over height any day. Thank you for you kind words. Made my day 😊
+Megan Eastwood your man? slavery is over mam
+Megan Eastwood actually you are 2 inches over U.S. normal so pretty tall
When you a 5'1 guy and people complain about being 5'10..... ha
Same
super same. 5'1 guy here and never felt better after watching this vid!
I'm 5'3 and I just laugh when people complain that they are 5'10.
+Ger Vang Anytime! haha

Your height doesn't make you who you are ...

and HIs Quotes "never forget what you are... wear it like armor, it can never be used to hurt you"
Same my fellow brother in arms. Lol as long as you have a good personality and work out a good bit then height doesn't matter too too much :)
lol
I am 5'7 and it has never been an issue when getting ladies. I have had more girls than most of my friends who are taller than me. Confidence is the key winner.
Manoffriendship If you're short, go for women who are short also. It has been theorized that most relationships last longer if the guy is taller then the women.
Manoffriendship
First of all, you need to let go of that depiction of yourself of being short. You need to change your whole mentality first before you can focus on how to attract a girl. Once your CONFIDENCE is set, you must go out there and just be yourself. Never talk about your height because that will show insecurity and that is a major turn off for females. My uncle is 5'5 and he has been with MANY MANY women...too many haha and very good looking. His current wife is 14 years younger than him and she is hot. Anyways, his personality is off the roof and has a lot of charisma. You must work on that too. Ill state once again, CONFIDENCE IS key! GO WORKOUT, work on your appearance and that will always benefit you in positive ways:)
JoelKyros s That guy really is insecure. Look at how many times he posted on that video!
tom mos
I just noticed haha...
5'7 no is very short
I don't mind being 5'4. It makes me feel unique in a way that im different from everyone else. I rather be a guy that stands out from the rest of the crowd than be blended in into other peoples perspective on how people should be. It makes me feel extremely proud for myself knowing that I live by my own expectations rather than how others depict it.
Something can't stick out if you can't see it 😯😐 lmao I'm jk I'm just a dick sometimes and it made me laugh a bit 😂😂 but yuh do you man
Lol.
Awesome, own it.
Grant Gerig I like your attitude, brotha. ;-)
Grant Gerig I totally agree with you Grant. Keep it up :)
im 5.7. most powerful men in history have been short men. Not gonna lie i was height conscious but over the years i have appreciated myself.
Segun Ola im a 5'6 man for me it's not so much my height its my body im self conscious about the most. Im 140 and skinny, if i was more bulky and had mucsles i would be straight. Im trying to bulk up now
@@mr.skating2880 - I am 5'6 and my problem was my height and my bulky appearance, i felt like a small bulky man, i wished a was skinnier to appear more tall .. You see the point ?
Now i am same height but way more ripped than before and a little bit more bulky too. I would give so many to be skinnier before .. the problem, as always in this situations, is confidence.
ps: sports and other body involving activities help build up confidence bcs you learn you're body by doing moving. You don"t gain confidence, you build it ;)
You ain't short
Most men now are short. It's only Europeans, and Blacks in developed countries who typically qualify for what you call tall
im 5'3 and black do you know how hard it is for me
DaJon Ellis I'm sorry this killed me😂😂
just change the world man
My condolences.
not as bad as being 5'3 and asian
but there are a lot of short asian guys
Thank you for this video. I'm 5'7" and have had confidence issues because of it. I absolutely can't stand that I'm so short compared to my peers, but you're right. My height doesn't define me nor limit me as a man. Thanks for the kind words of wisdom! I needed to hear it.
im 5'3
im 5,4
5 ft 7 is not short. It’s average. Don’t feel so bad I’m 5ft 6. I’ve dated women that are my height and even a little taller. You can use your other traits to make up for the height
I'm 5'3" and I don't care for being short. I couldn't care less if virtually every woman I meet makes a big deal out of it or if my coaches push me to the back of the line because of it. I'm an alpha male, period. I'm a superb athlete. I practice judo, Muay Thai, and wrestling. In the gym, I kick the ass of any who I spar with. At 5'3" and 175, I spar with tall guys and kick their asses. I surpass them in kicking, punching, and wrestling technique. The problem ... my coaches don't like it. Just last week I sparred with a 210 heavyweight and left him limping at the end of the match. Whenever I outperform taller guys, my coach just removes me from the activity. He actually oppresses me a lot. Being short does not mean being inferior. We can still rock. Don't let people put you into an inferior category because of it. Don't ever be afraid to excel, regardless of what people think or say. A lot of people say I'm trying to overcompensate for something. That is the biggest bullshit I have ever heard. I'm just striving to be good at things, just like everyone else. We are expected to be meek and submit. F***k that. Short people rule.
I agree with you fully but you know being short sucks. If you could pick your height you know you wouldn't pick 5'3 as a height. I'm 5'8 so 5 inches taller than you and I feel short all the time. Dad is 5'11 brother is 6'0. I got screwed with genetics
Bruh you must be fat if your 5'3 175lbs
175lbs is even too big for someone 5'8. 175lbs suits someone more 6'0 and over.
AmaZN97 Or better said. You mustn't know what exercise is.
AmaZN97 I'm been strength training and exercising since I was 12. I'm as fit as can be. I run at minimum 3 miles a day. I can run as much as 7 miles daily without injury. I deadlift 410 lbs. I bench 245 lbs. I squat 350 lbs. People describe me as muscular, not fat. If you exercised, you would understand how inaccurate B.M.I. is. According to you, I should be what, 125 lbs. I might weight that much if I were a scrawny short good. Educate yourself dude. If you take a look at my profile picture, you see there's nothing fat about me.
5'5" here, height is the first thing people notice about me, and it is also the last thing, after that i dont exist in their eyes. :P
true my friend feels the same
I'm 5'5 too brother. It's really all about the energy you bring with you, have presence, confidence helps. I've encounters assholes of all kind, some poke at my height to be dominant over me, in social situations. I have to much of a dominant personality to ever let that happened though. I am a, Leo... I've also worked on myself for years, after high school. I Joined the military and got jacked. I'm not saying do that. But just like women, men sometimes have to fluff their feathers to get noticed.
it was like months ago.. im chill now
Don't bother about them if they don't care you shouldn't care , your height doesn't make you who you are ...

thnx everyone who commented
5'6.. IN THE FUCKING NETHERLANDS #sadstory #hellodarknessmyoldfriend
im sorry for you mate
oh man feel sorry for you
thanks guys, it's a sad world;)
Dont worry bro have some confidence. Thats all you need. Im your height but im asian so its okay for me. You should change countries lol
+Hiran Dissanayake i'm colombian 5'6 vs white folks who are 6'1-6'3. no joke., females most 5'8. but yeah i have a pretty big mouth so;p i got my skills :p
5 foot 6 inches....
Really dude!?!? That average height not short. Try under 5'4 ( I'm 5'2)
Yes! where I come from he can pass as an average guy, he can even look tall for some people here.
By the way, I'm 5'2 too
Mauricio Mendoza where are you guys from when I was 5 6 I felr very short. Im near 5'8 and still feel short and I am below avg
I'm from La Paz, Bolivia. Believe, here you wouldn't fell short at all being 5'8
i'm from England , i'm 5'8 and it is considered a little short, 5'9/10 is normal height, average, neither short or tall, 5'11 is tallish( a little tall) and 6'0+ up is tall here. at 5'8 I wouldn't be known as the short guy as say a 5'4 guy , but in conversation or when height is brought up i'm referred to as a little short or little bit short by others
5'4 + and under very short
5'5 - 5'7 normal short
5'8 shortish
5'9'-5'10 normal/average
5'11 tallish
6'0-6'2 tall+
6'3+ and over very tall+
no offense im not being rude but 5'2 is very short+ I was that at 13, but how is it in Bolivia? what height would you wish to be ideally? i'm still 5'8 and dislike it tbh, I would love to be atleast 5'10+, my father is 5'11 and brother 6'0, he was 6'0 by 17, his height is perfect imo wish I could be that tall. is 6'0 also very tall in Bolivia?
Well here you will be average. Actually, I would love to be your height. No offense I'm not being rude but.....apreciate what you have
By the way, 6,0 pretty much makes you quite tall here
I'm a 5'4'' man and I've generally had girlfriends who were taller than me and it's never bothered either of us and yes, height doesn't matter when you're both lying down. Be confident, friendly and comfortable with yourself. It goes a long, long way.
Same here. Ultra fit/hot girls in my case. I suppose it's about confidence and a bit of luck. Loads of tall goofs too lol
I’m 5 ft 6 Same thing. I’ve dated slightly taller women and my wife is 5 ft 6 as well
I'm surprised to see no Kevin Hart reference. He's really short yet look at how confident productive and positive he is.
It almost seems like people can't fathom how different the lifes of famous people are in comparisson to anonymous nobodies like you & me
@johnny ember and where does he say that?
lol i'm 5'6 and walk around like i am 6'8
true
Lol so true I got the same height
Haha me too
Same here
Haha thats the spirit
I'm 5'7.5" and reading through these comments makes me appreciate my height better.
i am 5.3 i wish i could be of your height :-( be thankful
Usama Jutt I will now, just stick around short people cx I always feels taller that way lol
+Addison M haha great ! i,ve bought Elevator shoes when i wear them i become 5'5 :-D
I am 5'10" and I feel too short
***** yes average and it is not bad
Most people around me are about 5'7to 6'
So I don't feel that short
Many short guys are more man, than taller ones, because they work harder :)
Also, it filters "simple" girls out of my way, so i can focus more "thinking" ones.
Ukkostimi this. 👍🏼
why is it simple from a girl to prefer taller guys?
I just wish it was discussed more, y'know? It's considered completely unacceptable to make fun of people of color and those who are overweight, but short guys have no leverage. No support. Hell, most people don't even think height discrimination *exists* because it's so subtley engrained within our society.
It's frustrating and it's bullshit, and the worst part is that it doesn't have to be this way.
I totally agree with you Johny Bravo
Hazy, I'm publishing a book that analyzes society's height bias. It's unfortunate achievements of undersized guys who've done amazing things aren't known by most. Sure people know about a few athletes, but how about the fact the most decorated war hero of this country (Audie Murphy) was 5'5" and rejected multiple times from joining the military? The first astronaut to go on multiple missions was also 5'5" (NASA's Gus Grissom). Facebook CEO/Founder Mark Zuckerberg is 5'7"...the list goes on. I provide a few talking points similar to Alpha M, plus others. Everyone has a different mindset when it comes to height. It is all about perspective and easier said than done when it comes to confidence! Not everyone has a TV face or charisma that goes for days. Stay tuned...the book will be on Amazon next month (Amazing Heights: How Short Men Stand Tall And Stand Out). Keep the faith!
Hazy that's because "normal" height varies everywhere, in here a man could fit right in even if they're 168 cm, it's not genetics tho, it's nutrition and or or diet, a teacher could be 165 cm while the student is 175, most Asian countries are prob the same.
Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) is 5’5”.
It’s becoz it’s not a disability
I'm 5ft. 210 lbs and not fat. 36yrs of age. I'm thick and strong, big chest, big waist. Naturally strong. I can out muscle most guys taller than me. I'm also a business owner and work physically everyday. Have tons of friends that don't even care about my stature. And more impressed at what I've accomplished in life.
Usually when someone asks me my hight, I ask them what they weigh. It's a fair question! I'd rather be short and stocky than be tall and weak.
Loool tall and week have you seen basket ballplayers football wwe wrestlers they are all over 6ft and stronger than you'll ever be
MCCORMICK10202236 Do you mean a big waist because of muscle?
MCCORMICK10202236 When I was 5’2”, I weighed 96LBS.
Khabib Nurmagomedov Your a damn fool
The cope is strong...
I'm 5'5" and 145 haha, I love when girls use the phrase You're perfect, wish you were taller haha. Took me a while to get the same state of mind as you, glad you did this video bro. Confidence is key!
+Shawn Somers I'm in the exact situation as you! I'm still learning to get in this state of mind but I'm happy who I am.
Shawn Somers I’m 5’7” and I’ve accepted my stature tbh. I know too many guys that are short and are actual alpha males that get laid day and night. I just ended up coming to the conclusion that it’s my self confidence and appearance
Wolverine is 5'3 in the comics
because he is like 200 years old. Back then he was probably average.
@@ShadowMentor No, I think 5'7 or 5'8 was average in North america. Now, it's 5'9 or 5'10. In the UK, I think it's 5'10 but some sources say 5'9. In New York, it's 5'9.5 or round up to 5'10. Here in Canada where I live, it's 5'8.5 or 5'9 if you want to round up. The worldwide average for males is approximately 5'8. 5'3 is the average height for an Indonesian male last time I checked
In the comics.
But they decided to use a 6'2" guy to play him in the movies.
Lol!shorties can be superheros only in comics!
@@CJ-sn8dz Shorties aren't allowed to even be superheroes in comics. Though in real life there is far more short men that are heroes.
(message to short high school guys or anyone ) i'm 5'1 in high school and trust me he's right height doesn't stop you from doing your best. I get girls, i'm more athletic than some of my tall friends, i'm secratary of my class, and i got most popular student voted from my peers. what i'm trying to say is if you put yourself down you're not doing yourself a favor. it doesn't matter about your height when you find the right girl, the right sport or career because end of the day you stop yourself if you think you can't do a certain thing due to your height. plus at this day of age a minority can do more outstanding thing than of a majority trust me i've done it.
exactly. and besides, i am not so sure what is worse - being short and athletic looking, or being tall and skinny... I am average 5.10, but I have very thin frame. I work out, it has paid off well, but still... I would give an inch or two for a thicker, more athletic upper body look. Even just thicker arms... for gods sake when you have thin arms like me you are never going to look nice and athletic no matter how ripped you are and how nice your chest is (i know, i am ripped all year round now, bf 8%, nice chest, not that bad lats... but man, my arms and shoulders are just too thin. defined, but too thin compared to the rest of my body... Short sleeves are not for me :)
imran Chowdhury thank you for inspiring me. 😌 I hope I can better my life from here on out. Because of this youtuber & you.
good to hear
imran Chowdhury you said it right man
imran Chowdhury are you Bengali and what sports do you play?
I'm 5'4 and almost every girl I get close to brush me off with a "awwhh you're sooo cool, only if you were taller"
Even if the girl is the same height as me, she prefers taller guys, atleast above 5'8. It makes me sad, really, but I really dont wanna get into a serious relationship with a girl who cant get out of the I-cant-date-you-because-you're-short bubble.
+LeaperTheRipper-sama That's the story of my life right there!
That just means they don't like you (whether you were tall or short). Women don't date men because they're tall but because they actually like the man they want to date.
Saumyajit Roy Just stand up for yourself.
Well you know what, I know guys who are 5' 4 and are happily married. It just means those girls you knew were shallow. There's a saying: there's a lid for every pot. And I don't believe for a second that every single available girl out there wouldn't consider a 5' 4 guy. But you know what, tall guys get rejected all the time too. When you're short (and I can relate as I'm only 5' 7) you tend to think if you were 6' you'd never get rejected. But of course, 6' guys get rejected too.
my life 100%
Change what you can and accept what you can't. That's the manly way to go about things.
Yes. And the deaths of millions are just a statistic! ^^
Right on point as always, Josie, right on!
Bro hoof!
you can get leg lengthening, so you can definitely change it.
Daniel redcliffe is 5"5 Tom cruise is 5"7
pallav kumar dev Daniel Radcliffe is a movie star and Tom Cruise is a movie star.
Daniel has a quote guess was like "I used to overthink my height a lot but then i said fuck it,i'm Harry Potter" :D
yeah it's weird how height matters a lot to women unless you're a famous millionaire and then it doesn't matter at all...
saltyninja I think you are missing some points.Let's look at what these men have and assuming you don't.
1-They have a prestigious job also allows them to be popular and make a lot of money.
2-Even though they are short,they still take care of themselves and they appear pretty nice.Their skin,body etc.
3-They are confident and proud with what they are capable of,what they did and what they can do,but most importantly other people know this too.Think about my other comment where Dan talks about his height and being Harry Potter.He doesn't care of being short,because he knows HE was the one who played Harry Potter,HE was the hero of children,HE will be the one to remembered when somebody talks about Harry Potter.
So when you look at these,in order to be a happy,successful person and an attractive guy,i think there is more than only being a famous millionaire.You may not be a good actor and maybe you won't be as popular as these people but... you can find alternative ways to make yourself feel good and be successful which will lead you the way to be attractive.
And your point is this douchebag is right in the middle of two other weakling douchebag? I agree...
From my experience, it only matters when initially meeting people. They look at you and notice your height. You can't blame them, since that't all they can go off of. But if you can get past that barrier by being confident, funny, etc., it really doesn't matter anymore, and they will remember you for your personality instead.
if you don't meet her height requirements, she won't even look at your other attributes
Women are like street cars, there's always another one coming along.
So fking true
Found all the incels, guys.
Real truth
Facts!!
Brock with Modest Man is an awesome guy. I've met him in person as well and can vouch for his talents. Great video Aaron!
Yeah but society probably looks past your height since you have good looks. Further 5'6.5 is acceptable to most in society. It's when your 5'4 or less to in which society starts to view you as someone with a disability.
+crimsinspin39 True
I've been watching this channel for over a year now, but today is the day I truly gained the confidence I needed. It really means a lot knowing Alpha, who I look up to as the coolest, smoothest, most attractive dude, is the same height as me. If Alpha can be the same size and be so confident, then why can't I?
I'm like 5'5" but I tell most people I'm 5'7".
Typical
Try some insole in your shoes, then tell them you're 5'8
Philip Ballas you should not like about it stand straight feel tall and feel confident.
What happens when you want to get lucky and you take your shoes off? Or will you get lucky with your shoes on? Stupid suggestion.
What's the difference
5'3, my gf is a model and i'm ripped.
6'2 dudes cry while i laugh
pix or it didn't happen.
I'm 39 years old, 5'4, and bald which equals no dateing life. For the past 20 years I've been told by women I've tried to introduce myself too "your short and band bald, that's a sign of weak male genes" or by others just simply "I don't do the short guy thing"' People always say well look at Tom Cruise and danny Devito, they get women all the time, But what they don't mention is that those guys are extremly wealthy. Short girls tell me that they want taller guys because they want their kids to have a chance to be tall. Short guys are screwed.
Move to Mexico where the guys are 5'5" on average. Shave it bald, get a tan, drink Coronas and find a short senorita that'll make you forget about vain, materialistic American women.
Christopher W not all of them are 5'5 I'm 6'1 and I was born in the us but my parents are from mexico bitchs love me ..
How tall are your Mexican parents?
You have let your height define you . Stop
5'9 and proud to be mexican
when your a 5'3 guy and people complain about being at least 5'9. Like bro who cares if you wish you were 6 ft. Be thankful for your height.
You should be thankful for you're height too... you could have been 4'10 but you're 5'3
Great video bro. 5’6” squad 💪🏽
I'm very thankful to be 5'7". 95% of girls are either equal or shorter than me. So be thankful for whatever height you have. Even if you're 5'
"So be thankful"? Why? You wouldn't be saying that if you were 5'3.
Scarlet Spoder I'm thankful for everything really. Focus on the positive not the negative
@@crackuhsnackuh he might still say that if he was 5'3'', because he'd know that he could have been 4'2" and living with achondroplasia dwarfism. There's always someone who has it tougher than you.
5'7 is a great height. The average female (USA) is between 5'4 and 5'6. You're good man. 5'7 is not short by most standards. Do not say 5' is a good height though. At 5', you're pretty much a kid no matter the age. It's totally different and depressing.
@@d.lawrence5670 Late reply but other people's problems (worse or not) do not invalidate yours... Just because there are homeless kids doesn't mean I can't wish I'd live in a house instead of an apartment.
I'm also about 5'7, I feel like I lost my life. In my country all the girls are at least 5'7, there are literally no shorter girls than me. I'm getting old, I've never had a girlfriend and I never will, because nature made me look like a freak.
where the hell do you live?
marsdog Poland, everyone in Europe is freakishly tall.
lol im 14 and 5 foot count your fuking blessings jeez
Leonardos Apprentice hey man, that doesn't make any difference, we're both going to end up alone.
nigol1472 people like you man jheeze so what if you are 5'7 lmao I'm your height as well, it doesn't mean your gonna end up alone wtf, people focus on height waaaay too much. Sure taller height is better yeah yeah I know but why focus on something we CNT change. At least you ain't 5'4, 5'2 or 5'0 etc imagine being in the 4 foot range. Listen yeah even shorter people than you get gfs get married and have kids. 5'7 may not be ideal but its not that bad. Jheeeze man you guys are actually pathetic at times
My boss 6 years ago actually hinted I would never be a salesman because I'm a short 5'5" brainiac. Yeah I'm still bitter about his prejudice because I am a qualified sales man. No worries ... I started my own biz back then and now I'm laughing haha
ANew Blu That's awesome. Way to overcome his objections too!
Good job king
Can I work for your business for a few years
I'm 5' 8" and had a complex about it until I started working out regularly. I have a friend who is 6'7" and challenged me to a wrestling match because of my "muscles". He wanted to prove that height rules. I pinned his ass in less than 90 seconds. If you lack confidence because of height, work out. Its easier to look more muscular when you're shorter.
Back in middle school, I had a friend of Scandinavian descent, who was around 6" (and not just tall, but broad and stocky) and I was around 5" 3" and stocky, at the time. We'd occasionally wrestle and I could beat him, though sometimes he would beat me.
Weight matters in wrestling height is fore striking
Fuck yeah. My 5'6 Jiu Jitsu instructor is scary AF. I'm not sure I'd have let go, btw

Hey short guys,LISTEN !!! Why so many of you saying that your life is hell because of your height ?? Why are you claiming that your height will destroy your opportunity to date women, NO!!!, your attitude, your negative outlook is what eliminate your chance to have girlfriend. There is ONE THING if I tell you, you would not be so sad about your height. Society consider 6ft men are those who have ideal height, they score 10 out of 10. And 6ft = 72 inches. If you are about 5'4 to 5'6 you still even score 9 out of 10. ( 64-66 inches/ 72 inches ). Why being so sad, go lifting weights, wear heels, choose suitable haircut, find some short role models and you would not look bad or feel bad. And if you still struggle with your height, go for leg stretching surgery, you will be ~4 inches taller. Btw, i'm blessed with good genetics 6'3 and my little brother 6'2 16 year old but we never make fun of short people or consider being short as a disability, if I meet a short but confident and talented man, I respect him, if I meet a tall fucktard, well sorry but he's nothing more than just a bacteria in my eyes . I have one friend who is happen to be 5'6, he's an excellent finance advisor, confident, speak 3 languages, plays 2 sport ( swimming, table tennis ), hit the gym and has 6 abs, plays violin, he travels around the world, has a beutiful wife ( 3 inches taller than him, she used to be a cheer leader in high school ) and of course he is happy. We living in a world that many people call it unfair while others call it diversity. Get rid of your insecure now or continue to waste your life, miss your opportunity, you was given a challenge, a bad hand in a card game, now it's time to prove that you are a good player. You are the main character and your life is a novel, who on earth would wanna read the novel with only 1 stupid line "The main character is 6'4", make your novel adventurous, interesting, DO NOT let others write the definition of "happy" in your novel. Lion is definitely not the biggest animal but still the king of the jungle because he ROARS, and elephant, rhino,.. will fucking run.
Luke Tran This is a wonderful comment, thank you.
Luke Tran Wow, nice comment! Thanks!
Well I've been always been picked on because of my height but I'm choosing to not let it discourage me from being the best version of myself
Luke Tran honestly I feel bad for 5'10 guys cuz they always labeled as typical white dude
You can say what you want, but *many* women disqualify a guy simply due to being short. Not all, but many. And I'm not saying this because that's what I think is right, but I'm saying that because that's just how it is. No matter how much you tell yourself it isn't a big deal, *most* women do not want to be taller than their man. (with or without heels)
***** I feel you man. Even if you have more humor and a better personality, they will always give the taller guy more attention. It's frustrating at times!
***** Often times, women talk to me, even though I am shorter than my friend.
***** Yeah, but hey, in the end you landed Bulma, and he got stuck with _Chichi_, so it isn't all bad.
SimplyGeneric Or... you just make sure you are a more interesting person than the taller guy and divert attention away from them? It's not that hard, just be confident and give women reasons to want you.
***** I give you props for self assurance, but that's not always the case. Nice thought though. Tall or short, we should all strive for success. =)
we are small, we should keep parties with height requirements,
no 6ft party 😂😂
I'm also 5'6 1/2. I've gained more confidence through the years. What really shot me down was A girl turned me down because I was short. She told me that it was the only downside of why she never gave me a Chance.
howd you recover from that?
You don’t want a woman like that. If she’s 6 ft 3 tall I understand her wanting a taller man. But if she’s your height under she’s just shallow. My wife never looked down on me because of my height.
I'm 6'4. So why did I watch this video? Because Alpha is a boss and I love hearing any tips or tricks from the master!
Great video Alpha but it could have been shorter...
Being short is so hard when women only like guys above 6'
Guys who are 5 9 lie about being around 6 foot all the time
@johnny ember In my opinion 5'8"(morning) and above (till about 6 6) is when height doesnt matter.
This is so stupid. You think a smoking hot average height girl would reject a smoking hot 5 10 guy. Nope. 5 8-5 11(morning height) is not preferable but salvageable. 5 7 and under(short statistically) is when your face stops mattering. A large number of shallow women would reject you just for your height.
@Edward Smith troll gtfo out of here. "They want basketball player". My uncle is 6 foot 8 and quite intimidating to a lot of women
@Edward Smith the average (even among young guys) is still not even 5 foot 10. Also are you sure you measured properly? You dont even know if you are 5 10 or 5 11. Also the difference between 5 8 and 5 10 is not even noticeable.
Consider yourself being 5'6" lucky, as I am 5"3.
+iibrahim264 Thanks for the comment buddy. I don't think my haircut is that bad. I also know I need to lose weight, don't need a random troll telling me that. How about you stick the topic of the video.
+iibrahim264 wow you're clearly very insecure. I think he looks great and so what if he needs to lose some weight?
+OnceuponA Time you're clearly insecure about yourself
Yo same lol
Hey, don't worry about it bro. If I was 5'3" I'd be like "fuck it" and just embrace it.
Alpha, here is a topic you could talk about. Rings!, should men wear rings other than the wedding band, and if so, what kind of rings? Thanks
I'm 20 years old with a 5"3 height. At first in my high school years it really did bother me but now that I'm in college I taught myself to improve my confidence. Even though I can be the shortest guy in a class or room I stand out by my looks, I wear cologne, have a fashion sense and I'm always complemented by girls about my looks. The funny thing is I also wear hoop earrings and rings lmfaoo. I'm starting my own fashion clothing soon and honestly I'm proud of who I am.
WORD OF ADVICE TO SHORT GUYS: if you're having difficulties finding a right size or you like a type of clothing buy it and go to a Taylor shop to make it your fit. There's always a way and stay away from blonde chicks, they're too tall lol
Oh man..... I can relate to this. I'm 20 and I'm 5'3 also. I feel like a little kid and people tell me but I think I got used to it and I ignore them. I just want to find someone who doesn't care about my height, btw I just remembered 2 of my exes were really tall lol
Lmao how did it go for you? Dating two tall girls?
Latinas all the way my friend. Good thing is that I actually prefer latinas hahah
Great message, but short men don't "need" to dress or act "taller". They need to be themselves. Society is what needs to change with respect to their views on short men.
Being a very short man is one of the most powerful social stigmas that exists and it is rarely denounced.
Hey.. how dafaq is 5'6" short?? your pretty tall man... thats an average man height. im 5'1 "I" am short
I am 5'8 to 5'9. Is that short?
uuhhh no???
I'd kill to be 5'6" l0l
I am 22 years old and only 5'2"
If I could have the magical chance I would soo boost to 5'6". This is actually around average for my ethnic group (from Myanmar). Now I live in the United States....so even short American women are tall as or taller than me!
And that, classics, is the big difference.
But i still argue that OTHER people will respect a slightly larger me. This is fact in social circles and even in animals.
being a gentleman is a lifestyle , 50% looks and 50% manners . looking sharp at all times, taking care of your hair , beard your smell and how you present yourself, respecting your self and forcing other people to respect you. Respecting every women even at club or even a stripper or any girl regardless your interested in her or not . Not looking down at people is another important character. doesnt matter if your tall or short . You can look best you could and thats what matters and nothing and nobody should make you lose your confidence in yourself
That whole tall people making more has probably more to do with self confidence than any basis
Im 5'6" short guys rule!

Thanks for this video man. I'm 38 y.o and im 5'6 and i already came to a point of not giving a damn about my height. I had girlfriends before whose height is almost 5'11. Comparing my situation and the things i achieve so far to a lot of tall men, i can confidently say that im in a better situation than them and the height thing didn't have any significance in my achievements. Once you learn and accept who you are, then you can start living the life you really wanted.
Being a guy in Norway with the height of 5'7 or below is depressing. Most ethnic girls are about 5'9. Don't really care about what guys think, they don't really mind either.. but the girls do, and I do.. I would never be with a girl taller than me. Depressing how u maybe like someone, but the height of all thing is the problem? Tragic
You are a good role model, alpha, and it's absolutely true what youre saying - its just easier said than done tho
Arkterius K I am 5 foot 9 inch’s tall,
I am taller and the same height as most grown men my height I only know a couple people who are 6 feet and bigger
I'm 5"4. I find it incredibly degrading
Own it! I'm 5'4 too and the only people who had a problem with it were bullies. Who cares what they think or any negative person thinks. It took me forever to love my height and I own it!
I'm a bit over 5'4", and fuck it man. Just fuck it. It doesn't define me, it makes me goddamn unique.
Degrading?? Dude please, you're being ridiculous. No offense, but I really do wonder just HOW can it feel "degrading"? For what it's worth, I prefer short guys (which makes sense 'cause I'm only 5'3 myself).
Unique? Get real, it makes you short. I'm 5'7" and I am short - MANY females have brought it to my attention.
azariah15 I really wouldn't call that short. I wonder though, in what context have they brought it up?
Bruh I don’t know why I’m here. I’m 6’4. I’ll let y’all smaller guys out there know that it sucks being this tall sometimes. It’s hard to find pants and shoes that fit. Usually tall people like myself have bigger feet and longer legs. So you usually have to find one thing that works and you have to stick with it. You cannot fit into sports cars or backseats easily either. Plane rides suck. It’s almost impossible. You also hit your head on everything possible. And not every tall person can play basketball. 😂 smaller guys can fit into more shoes and clothes and are usually closer to their girls height and can find that it’s easy to do simple things like kiss. Also, the shorter you are the more muscular you can look if you’re working out a lot. Girls love muscular guys. Keep that in mind. Respect to you guys out there. 💯💯💯

Being short is better than tall. (In my opinion.)

I know this is a late reply but you made my day bro! 😂
Peace
You are awesome! I'm your height as well. Never saw myself as short until someone casually mentioned it as an adult, and I was like, "me"?! Agreed that the main challenge is with clothing options. Still, I'd rather have that small obstacle than have to shop at big & tall stores, which aren't generally known for their fashion or quality.

As much as I would like to downplay the significance of height, I understand where the shorter people dissatisfied with theirs are coming from. I was 5'6 until around the time I turned 18. About 8 months ago, I shot up just over three inches to my current height of a little over 5'9. Genetics play a significant role, but I am now taller than my dad, which I never believed would happen. I stand with excellent posture and tend to wear shoes that have a bit of a heel (not those high-heels-for-men things though. Please don't subject yourself to the indignity of being caught wearing those). I easily pass for someone who is 5'10+. I won't lie and say that people don't treat me different now, but honestly, I REALLY BELIEVE that this is due, more than anything, to the change in the manner by which I carry myself, which I now believe is the most important factor in how people will regard you. It is harder to be alpha when you're one of the shortest guys in the room, but if you are left with the choice of the path of difficult success vs. the path of rejection and denial, please fucking choose the path of difficult success. In truth, in the long run, it is much less difficult than the path of rejection and denial. Stand up for yourself. Make your voice heard. You have valuable thoughts and ideas. Don't let people walk all over you and dismiss you as I did when I was in your shoes. TAKE CHARGE. Don't ask for it, TAKE IT. I know people shorter than me that own successful businesses. I know people shorter than me with really attractive girlfriends. Without being arrogant, if you treat yourself like a boss, others will too. I still sometimes feel short compared to people over 6 ft, but height has grown to be less of a concern to me, and it is LIBERATING. This is coming from someone for whom height used to be the number one insecurity. Please, please, PLEASE do yourself the favor, the JUSTICE, of accepting yourself and what you have, and focusing on the same thing taller successful people are focusing on. HINT: not height- how to be more successful.
Derek Martinez Dude this was the most inspiring thing Ive read in months. I love this. Ima 22 year old male and 5'6

Derek Martinez My dad is 6 foot 2 and a half I am I set to be 6 foot 2 but My dad reached 6 foot 4 because my grandma was 5 foot 11 and so was my Grandfather I am now taller then most of my Family but my Dad but I am 5 foot 8
Just figured I would share my experience. I am 5 ft5 165cm and I am lean and fit. I have had many pretty women hit on me. After I have started hanging out with one for a while they would tell me the very first time they laid eyes on me, the confidence that I projected was amazing. One girl told me while she was at this bar and I walked in, she said I just stood there looking around and had this look like "what girl am I going to take home". So the answer is confidence. Another girl one time told my friend when I walked by was " Who was THAT guy?" And finally most people think I am either military, cop,etc, it's just how I carry myself. And yes, taller women ask me out as well. I have taller friends who suck with women. My advice is, don't give a shit about women. Pick a hobby and become excellent at it and the women will detect that you have something good for yourself going on.
“Be more confident.” Oh my God I do NOT understand what this means. How does being aware of myself and how others may perceive me mean I’m not confident?
You need your own television show bro. I would watch it religiously.
I'm not short, but i'll watch this anyway
Excellent. Glad you addressed this important aspect and agree wholeheartedly.
Tbh I’m 5ft7 and i really wished i was 6ft. I’m 20 years old and been stuck at this height for 3 years now and did height growth excersises everyday to increase. Then I came to realise that men shorter than me wish they were my height and men my height wish they were taller vice versa. In all honesty just be happy for what you have as some don’t have it
I'm 5'6 and I'm not rich, I'm not well built either, but my girlfriend loves me, like really loves me. She's a Colombian 5'9 and waaaaay out of my league. We're engaged now.
My point is, there is always someone out there who will appreciate you for who you are. Just stop chasing those random girls you want to impress. If you need to try so hard to impress someone, she's probably not right for you.
A 5'9" Columbian girl? I call BS.
BS detected
Why? I'm from Venezuela (Next to Colombia) and here are very pretty girls who are even 5'11" (they aren't very common though) and I've been in Colombia a few times and I can say there are a considerably amount of women above 5'9" so yeah, it isn't BS.
Most Americans here probably wont care, but one of the greatest football(soccer) teams of all time 2009-2012 Barcelona were made up of guys predominantly under 5'8. Lionel Messi, possibly the greatest player of all time and icon of millions of kids around the world is like 5'6. Height doesn't mean shit.

I am extremely depressed for so many years now about my height. It basically destroyed and still affects my life. Believe me when I tell you I did SO much research on this. There will not be anything new, the only thing available is Cosmetic Limb Lengthening which is a controversial surgery. NOTHING else works, TRUST ME. I was going to do that surgery last year but backed out... I couldn't do it :(
***** I am 5'4" however where do you live? If you are Asian it is different. I live in Europe which there are so many tall people.
***** That won't help me... Just because there are short people that are successful it doesn't make me feel any better. Comparisons never work, ask any therapist. Sure there are short millionaires but there are also TALL millionaires... what is fanica fanica' 's point?
fanica fanica' I have a nice body too, I work out, I am also considered attractive. I don't feel bad for girls, I don't give a shit. They date you if you have a long... bank account, not height (exceptions exist though). I just hate my god damn height. I don't expect you guys to understand me anyway, shame...
I'm 5'6 Hispanic 26 years old. I'm happy with my genetics and physic 💪. I have a positive personality and a kick ass like a boss attitude and dont mind joking if my height is called out.

kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk i thought so to
I'm 17, 5'9 and I want to be at least 5'11. I feel short at 5'9. Can't imagine how hard it is for shorter guys.
im just like u man. I hope I can grow a bit more before I run out of time to do so.
I was your height at your age and now i'm almost 5'11 so there is hope :)
B-Mint1994 Lol thanks for giving me hope.
B-Mint1994 You're a beacon of light man.
I'm the same just a half inch more lol, Don't worry we will probably grow. Men grow until their 23, so an extra inch or 2 shouldn't be hard for our bodies to reach. Besides its better to focus on the positive in life than the negative and then soon as you know it you'll be there.
This video helped me a little -I'm 5'9 and I'm 16- but I still feel short because I see lot's of 6'0 ft+ guys and it doesn't help that some of them are good looking and stuff, I know someone who is like 6'1 and he's younger than me.
I'm very happy to watch this video. i'm also 5' 6" and i was upset about my height. when i seen this video its give me confidence more. thanks for your best video and i appreciate about it.
Honor to you dude.
I definitely win this I see a lot of men in the comments saying they are 5’4, im 17 and I’m 5’0, haven’t grown in over a year :(
How is it something minor if most girls prefer tall guys and most employers hire taller guys? Explain.
titomister10 where in the world did you get your information about employers only hiring tall people? I have never heard of that in my entire life. I have gotten almost every single job I've ever applied for and I'm 5'7". That proves right there, that height doesn't matter.
@Lower statistics fam
5'6? holy hell i thought you were like 5'11 - 6'2 what the hellzies?! Its your physique that sorta deceived my eyes there, but god damn you are gorgeous for someone who society thinks is "short"
Being short hasn't really negatively affected me. In middle school/elementary, I guess I was made fun of, and there were some athletic challanges in high school, but I find it makes less and less of a difference over time. Most 24 year olds can't fight, run a marathon, or lift substantially more than their own bodyweight - and the reason this "tactically sized" 5'4" guy can is because he trains most every day with intensity. I let my height come up in conversation as a topic but it's neither good or bad - it's just an option, like discussing what restaurants people do or don't like.
BONUS: Since I am the average height of women, I find they feel more comfortable around me. Like, since I'm confident they still feel "safe" and all that, but I'm their size so it's not intimidating.
Right on dude
i really think posture is everything, good posture gives confidence and will make you little more taller
Same im 5'6 barefoot, and never had a problem with my height it seems like guys try to use this to get ahead of another gut or something :/
you're all getting tall warrior bodies in your next life so chill
I'm 5'11, but if anyone tries to bully someone because of their size, I'd kick the shit out-of them
I'm a 21 year old 5'3 tall man here. I'm 6/7 inches below the average height for a man in my country (Scotland). I'm on the 2nd percentile for height, which means that 98/99 men out of a 100 are taller than me.
Although it used to be something which made me feel really insecure when is was in my early teens, it's something which doesn't bother me at all now. In fact I feel happy and comfortable with my height and wouldn't change it if I had the choice. For guys that feel insecure about their height, I say that everyone has a niche that they fit into, and I fit into the short man niche, it makes me distinctive and people often tell me that I'm cute.
Try getting rejected by a girl because of the height. I'm 5.4 and 20,...
It's sad as hell man but you know what fuck it and fuck females who judge on height be happy with the body you were given honestly fuck those chicks
Not to sound cocky I'm a handsome guy 5,4 but taller girls want taller guys it's simple as that I've made out with a taller girl once but personally they'll never picture being together with a shorter guy society has brainwashed a lot of people now days only way for me to not care is stop caring
Hey bro don't let that bring you down. I dated a girl who was a few inches taller than I am. It's not that all girls hate short guys, some don't care. Never stop trying if you like a girl. You will eventually find someone that likes you for you
+Tony Mann you wont be fucking those chicks :^)
+Tony Mann Same, brother. I know the struggle
I'm 5'4"....*cries in corner*
You will always get shit for your height. It’s just the way society is. People will always point out your flaws to make them feel better about themselves. The best thing you can do is show them that you don’t care about their prejudice, and that you’re a better human being overall. Stay humble. Stay motivated. Obtain success. Kill them with kindness. They’ll call you names and try to demean you but will be dying inside hoping they could accomplish half of what you’ve accomplished. Have a great day!
